rachel: biden's first00 days. crisis, an opportunity. >> madam speaker, the president of the united states. rachel: president joe biden addresses congress. >> america is on the move again. rachel: promising unprecedented spending and transformative change. president biden: we're in competition with china and other countries to win the 21st century. rachel: but will biden's proposals gain bipartisan support? >> our bt future will not come from washington schemes or socialist dreams. rachel: or even get the backing of all democrats. >> i've never been for in a and i told them i'm not for that. rachel: and does booeden's first 100 days in office demonstrate he can turn his big plans into action? next. announcer: this is "washington week." corporate funding is provided by -- >> for 25 years, consumer cellular's goal has been to provide wireless service that helps people communicate and connect. we offer a variety of no contract plans and our u.s.-based customer service team can help find one that fits you. to learn mo

biden? president own, -- president moon, i want to know if your time schedule matches and is equal to each other in terms of resolving the issues on the north korean peninsula? pres. moon: to begin, under the new biden administration, the dprk policy review has been completed and -- in a rather fast time that means that the biden administration puts a priority on its north korea policy among its diplomatic tasks. also in terms of reviewing the policy, there was a close coordination as well as consultation between the united states and the republic of korea. the principle of the negotiations toward north korea has already been announced by the u.s. government. very calibrated, practical, gradual, step-by-step and very flexible. that is the approach of the current administration is aiming to adopt. that is the common understanding that we have with the united states and we will continue to work forward on this. in terms of the timeline for the denuclearization of the korean peninsula, there ar

can biden expand his base? you began the sessions biden is where he is the day he was elected.can he expand his base? >> he's trying. if you look to the speech of joint session of congress that he delivered last week the first two-thirds of the speech was very much directed to working class and middle class americans and he was saying, in effect, here is what government can do for you if you give me the chance to lead. and juxtapose this to the fact that his approval along white voters without college degrees stands at 36%. the biden debt is that the class appeal can soften working class objections to the democratic party and to the biden presidency and those objections are not simply white working class as we saw during the election and we see now and so they result, many latinos are working class latinos also share some of the reservations about the democratic party's agenda. and to the working class opposition to democrats and to the biden presidency is less about economics than it is about culture and race. and if that's the case, then the program announced in the joint ses

what is president biden's answer? there's over eight million job openings and every small business owner can't find workers because president biden insisted he pays people not to work. estimates are there's hundreds of billions of dollars in waste and fraud in that program he created and he refuses to confront these problems. these are problems that we're going to confront as house republicans. house republicans are very unified in confronting the challenges facing this country. we're going to work on those problems every single day in an even more united way. that's why we're proud that elise got elected today. now i want to bring up our conference vice chair, also from the state of louisiana, mike johnson. mr. johnson: thanks, steve. on behalf of the conference i'm delighted to be the first, i think, to publicly at least in broad setting congratulate elise stefanik on her election as our newest republican conference chair. that is a critical season for us, an important time for the country as has been said, all thes

biden jr.tion as he prepares to move into the white house. it is mike donilon's message. donilon probably loses his mind when biden veers from the script that he wrote for him. before coming to the white house, donilon was managing partner of mcdc strategies a media consulting firm where he made over $4 million two of the big clients the democrat national convention committee, and the biden campaign. [laughter] donilon a bit of a -- wait and see about that. biden chief of staff bruce reid worked in the clinton presidency counsel and chief domestic policy advisor. he worked very closely with biden the pass the '94 crime bill and also worked in obama administration, of course, as chief of staff to then vp biden. reid used to be the president of the broad foundation focusing on education -- no surprise here -- the broad foundation individual donations have suede far left over 90% of them coming from the broads themselves. they donated thousands to biden in 2020 they donated over a million in march

to remedy the problem biden had to reinstate trump policies on deregulation biden had reversed. when asked directly how to leavate the gas shortage gave this brilliant answer. >> i think what this shows is that -- i think we have to uh make a great investment in education as it relates to being able train and graduate more people proficient in cyber security. judge jeanine: pray tell, how does that fill my gas tank. this is the infrastructure that americans care about. not what you and the squad refer to as infrastructure which is nothing more than government giveaways and handouts. biden on the other hand after the attack occurred issued an executive order directing the administration to work with the private sector. really? how does that put gas in my tank. sow it is the biggest ever cyber attack on the united states infrastructure occurred early on joe biden's watch. when asked if a ransom was paid, biden's none of our business response was no comment. and biden isn't even blaming russia. he was quick to say, as quick as quick to joe, that the kremlin was not involved. really

biden: i know.laughter] >> even our motor, they are not only designed in-house here at ford, but produced right up the street. a lot of really great manufacturing here. pres. biden: have you had to change the tires? >> yes, we did have to change the tires and the wheels for the weight of the battery. the tires, we have several options, but one of them is providing lower resistance so you can get better range. pres. biden: fascinating. i was down at that plant in georgia. this battery does not look much smaller than the one they're putting in the buses nowadays. >> it is a very large battery. pres. biden: i know, but it is amazing to see it. what we are trying to do is have every bus in america be electric. it is impressive. >> thank you. pres. biden: thank you. >> mr. president, we will take you -- pres. biden: one more question, about the frame.

biden: i will have time to answer questions later. thank you. [cameras clicking] announcer: at the white house today, president biden awarded the medal of honor to retired army ranger colonel ralph puckett for his service during the korean war. south korean president moon attended the ceremony and spoke about service. the 94-year-old the first to receive a medal of honor from president biden. we will show you the full event later, but here is a short portion. pres. biden: so now, it is my great honor to ask for the citation to be read and award the honor. >> the president of the united states of america, authorized by an act of congress, has awarded in the name of congress the medal of honor, united states army, for gallantry and risk of his life above the call of duty. he distinguished himself by accident gallantry above and beyond the call of duty while serving as commander during 25 november, 1950 through 26 november, 1950 in korea. as his unit commenced an attack on hill 205, he directed mortar, machine-gun, and small arms fire. he mounted a

i agree 100% with camille -- spectrum president biden -- expecting president biden to solve this in the first 100 days is too much. but all eyes across the democratic party, moderates, independents, and republicans will be on the way this administration can coordinate that policy nationwide to make sure what we are seeing on facebook videos and other types of social media, police brutality, changes, and accountability is a permanent part of the system. elaine: that is very interesting. as you were talking about the warning signs on immigration, it reminds me of the obama administration, which missed a lot of the warning signs on the veterans administration which then became a scandal. a lot of these things are there in the transition and people make mistakes, people miss things, people ignore things that come back to bite them. let's turn to education for a minute. one of president-elect biden's biggest and most popular pledges was that he would not only get americans vaccinated, but children back in school. that was enormously popular. what is the status of children vis-À-vis schooling

and what is president biden doing? he's making it easier for russia to send us gasoline, to be more reliant on russia and middle eastern oil because he shut off the spigots. it's not only the keystone pipeline he shut down. he also canceled leases and permits on drilling in federal land, making americans less energy secure. that means families are pay manager money at the pump. when you see lines at the pump, that's something people haven't seen, like our leader said, since the 1970's. this is because of president biden's failed leadership. where is he on these problems? why has not president biden nor vice president harris gone to the border? the border crisis has been created by president biden's failed policy. we had a secure border when he took the oath of office and he quickly unraveled those agreements, including really good negotiated agreements with mexico and the northern triangle countries, that had president biden creating the border crisis and he wants to blame it on other people. there used to be a marker

biden.i knew in the senate was always interested in negotiation. i thought very highly of him. i like him. i worked with him. this is going to be a test on whether president biden is truly interested in bipartisanship. if he is, we could get there on the core infrastructure package. and by that i mean roads, bridges, highways, rails, waterways, and of course broadband. >> yeah. reconciliation used to pass the trump tax cuts, though, right? >> i'm sorry. >> reconciliation was also used to pass the trump tax cuts. it is not just democrats who use that to shut out the minority party, republicans just did it too? >> there was a different approach that was used for the 2017 tax cuts. we did go through committee. there were extensive hearings so it was a markup. that is not what happened with the covid package. now the president said that that is because it is an emergency. but in the case of infrastructure, we have time to go through the committee process, to hear from experts to get diverse view

we all watched joe biden in 2016, we see joe biden today. we watch him, it's painful to hear him speak. you are aware of what was public information about his frontal lobe, both frontal lobe surgeries. do you see cognitive decline? >> absolutely. i've been saying this long before he was elected president, i said go back. we have four years of tape that we can look at and, he's always been different. he was making a comment the other day, made a quote that was a famous quote that reagan had used at the coast guard academy the other day and he got all those words right. he was the only one, he was the only one there but realized he made no sense. you can see when he walks, he shuffles. he has a blank stare and stares off into space. there's something going on and he's not inspiring confidence among the american public and not inspiring confidence worldwide. you are being tested every day on the world stage and world leaders are looking at him and they see what's going on. and it is not good. we need his physician and medical team to come out,

odd and improbable about this sort of late life act of joe biden's this is not. you know it almost any point in joe biden's career which goes back 50 years in american politics. one this is not something what someone would have ever have predicted that he's you know that he is this well at least at least trying to be a kind of an f.d.r. l.b.j. type presidential figure and in many ways at least in the initial months is having some luck at all i you know if i if assy depiction is that that joe biden whom we've all known i mean everybody in washington has known joe biden right they've known him for decades and he was a guy who ran for president you know any number of times didn't quite make it you know basically was vice president ited states and told by the president obama essentially to you know take a take a pass while hillary clinton tried to run this is somebody coming in who is sort of you know many people perceived to win at the margins and as josh said to now look at him trying to do something on the scale of the new deal or the great society franklin roosev

you heard president biden say the u.s. goal is a two-state solution, israel living alongside a new state of palestine in peace. that's obviously a lot easier said than done. >> absolutely. i think the big question is, is biden really committed to try to engage and use his muscle, his political muscle, his diplomatic muscle to deal with the arab/israeli crisis, or does he really want to move onto whether it's domestic issues or dealing with china and the big problems that are presented by asia, north korea included. i think there's no indication yet whether he wants to spend the political capital involved in what has been for a dozen presidents a losing proposition. >> stand by for a moment. kaitlan collins is with us, our chief white house correspondent. i understand you have some news. >> reporter: yeah, wolf. we were just in this press conference with the president and the south korean president, of course. they took two questions as a standard and then as president biden was walking out of the room, he took a few more q

liz: the hunter biden laptop reportedly showed hunter biden was getting paid by the chair of the chineseond. that is allegation that we've heard from fbi sources and former fbi officials saying we've seen payments and diamond, that is a red flag and it could involve money laundering, we don't know what's happening but the other story ingold we want to talk to you about, giuliani, he saying to nbc in the washington post and the new york times revealed your anonymous sources that you used your erroneous stories claiming i was a target of russian disinformation campaign, they corrected the stories, glynn greenwalt, msnbc, cnn have not corrected their stories and pendants still at nbc in the washington post still not deleting their tweets about this. this is still going on, what iso your take on t the story. >> if he wasn't such a public figure he'd have a nice defamation case, but it gets nice tougher to win against defamation. the washington post new york times cannot get yesterday's weather right but when you look at what they're doing, there is always a mistake in one direction and that'

we're 14 weeks into the biden administration.ng to role, in terms of what comes out of his mouth, be you not to be a unifier and a moderator through the wildly liberal agenda he's put forward. republicans have to have some patience, and i have patience to let these policies which i believe are wrong-headed and will be proven to be wrong-headed play out over time, and then the amiable joe biden will look like the isolated joe biden. >> okay. you can take that on, if you want, but now a new total of $6 trillion, and it will fundamentally shape social and economic policy. it looks like he does want to be a transformational president. >> i don't look at biden through the lens of sort of perception and political perception, but what he went through with the obama years, right? where he also came upon a crisis that administration overcame a crisis, and that solving of the economic crisis at that time really only helped the top of the economy. it left a lot of families out in the cold literally in terms of the housing crisis. now let's

but what does this make joe biden? >> john: is president biden turning a blind eye?r place. what do you think? >> that was as true as ronald reagan stay as it is in ours. there was a famous office meeting when ronald reagan first became president. he was talking with judge clark and it may have been up private conversation but they were talking about what about making a deal with the soviet union and could we get this? i think he famously said to judge clark, "i have a different idea. we win, they lose." these are people that can't be talked outside of what they believe to be their own interest. what they're looking for is a do you mean what you say or can we get away with things if we push hard enough? that's a problem. the biden approach has taken the opposite of teddy roosevelt, speak softly and carry a big stick. so far it is speak loudly but have no stick. >> john: the biden administration seems to have taken one hard line with russia. reporting in the last few minutes that biden will not rejoin the open skies accord. we got out of it last year because of russia

i don't approve of esther biden's plan. -- mr. biden's plan. my question, these last stimulus that we needed, i am curious why isn't all that money spent? wire they holding money back for the last stimulus and creating more stimulus? another thing is, we all know that corporations write off their taxes. it's a business expense. i have a suggestion. if he wants to help this country out, take the cap off of social security so everybody can pay to help everybody else. this taxing the corporations has been a smokescreen for many years. it doesn't work. they write the taxes off and the working people pay for it anyway. look at the price of things. these corporations are reaping the benefits right now. everything is skyhigh. they are already making their money back. mr. biden, take the cap off of social security so they cannot deduct that from their income. everybody pays to help everybody else. >> this from arizona. a few months ago, we were complaining that the economy was stagnant. now, the complaint is that economy is too hot resulting in inflati

the ability to compare biden to obama or biden to reagan, or biden to truman, just is so difficult because of the magnitude and diversity of the challenges that he faces. >> great. jon valant? >> i'll pick up right there. i think both of john's points apply to education in particular. you have a whole lot of reversal of what was happening in the trump administration and you're stepping into a setting in education where schools are closed. that's totally unpress tented and so it is difficult to come up with comparisons historically. historically, the federal role in education has been extremely limited. it's ramped up a bit lately. even now it's about 8% funding of our public education system comes from the federal government. it's still really limited. but that doesn't keep incoming administrations from having ideas and policy priorities. they often have things that they think schools should do and ways they think school systems should look. and what has characterizeded the last few administrations is some frustration when they realize that they have ideas, but there's resistance to the id

biden proposing to spend over $6 trillion to date.blicans have lost credibility on fiscal responsibility as trump ballooned the deficit by 8 trillion over four years and republicans didn't say boo so it's kind of hard to real around the deficit and debt reduction now. bottom line. biden is popular and many of his policies are popular, at least right now and that's at a time when a record number of americans say that government should be doing more and so republicans are left shadow boxing with a phantom menace trying to gin up culture war gripes about dr. suess and coddling conspiracy theories in the place of real policy. it looks small while biden is going big in ways that might actually make a difference in people's lives. and that's your reality check. >> john avlon. thank you. >>> just in to cnn, a house republican lawmaker who voted to keep liz cheney in leadership the first time around tells cnn that cheney has his words here less support than she thinks. the latest on the republican feud ahead. some say this is my greatest chal

response that was beyond impressive to biden'?nt address, there are a lot of racial slurs about senator scott that trended on twitter for 12 long hours. you would have suspended a conservative or permanently ban them, why did it take so long, jack? on tv the racially charged rhetoric from the left about tim scott was absolutely repulsive, despicable and downright racist, take a look. >> why was he chosen to give this rebuttal? he was chosen because he is the only black republican senator. he is that person, he is that person that republicans want to put out front because of the problem of racism in this country and he knows that. so i was disappointed that he was used in this way.e >> this was standard republican pablum that could have been delivered by tom cotton -- america is not a racist country, there is no racism here. i'm not sure what the purpose of this was. >> sean: he agreed with senator scott's remarks and said yes what? he doesn't think the american people are racist. okay, what about people in your own party? are you

on honest or trustworthy, 54% say biden is. keeping his campaign promises, again, is he who he says he is? 59% of americans say yes. those are very different figures from the last president of the united states who just 37% said was honest and trustworthy. a little better on this score right here, 48%. said that he was keeping his campaign promises. but overall, the american voters, i don't know why it keeps doing that. >> your body heat. >> i'm radiating heat off it. basically voters think that biden is who he says he was. >> again. the issue, if you want to argue too liberal or conservative, go ahechltd the idea he was a trojan horse of some kind, the voters say no. >> and the polls agree. >> thank you very much, harry. >>> republicans have been going after president biden. but it does seem that they're having haired time figuring out how they want to do it. one republican senator admitting they need to get better at it. >> never has negative partisanship seemed to desperate and flailing. the attacks on president biden feel l

the world is crumbling around joe biden, around the biden administration. a crisis on our southern border, we have people fighting to get gas, you know, on the eastern states in america. we have our closest middle eastern ally being hammered by rockets. it is a really convenient time to do a little bit of jazz hands, hey, look over here, not over here, by the biden administration. and to your point, what took so long? the common sense, you know, solution here is get vaccinated, then you are free of any concern about catching covid, and why would you have to wear a mask? so i think americans have been incredibly confused, by and large, with when they're supposed to wear masks. after all, it was joe biden who after being vaccinated wore a mask to talk to other world leaders on a zoom call. he and jill biden were wearing a mask outside for the cameras, but when they visited the carters, no masks for people in their 90s. so either the vaccine works or it doesn't, and why are you encouraging americans to get it? i think that is the frustration by every single am

biden: alright. >> it is so nice to meet you, sir. pres. biden: what have we got here?> this iso ur -- is our glass cell. this will load the glasses onto the unit. this is where the operator would load the station. the robot would come in, pick up the glass and take the glass in, apply the urethane and load into the unit. >> the other side is for the windshield. >> the truck would travel right down the center. pres. biden: i got you. >> that one puts it on the back, that one puts it on the front. >> this is where the operator would do the picking of the glass. depending on what level glass he would need, -- you would need, put a primer on it, pick it up there. pres. biden: you guys don't know this, -- you guys don't know this, but the state of delaware has the highest percentage of autoworkers in the nation. we are so small a workforce, we had the largest steel plant in the country, the largest chrysler plant, anyway -- a total of 34,000 in the workforce . we don't have any of it left anymore. but anyways, i spent a lot of time in auto plants. by the way, my dad ran an

but never fear, because president biden is on it. >> president biden: i think what this shows is i thinkto make a greater investment in education as it relates to being able to train and graduate more people proficient in cybersecurity. >> laura: that may be true, but how does that help us right now? and even if that is true, why on earth then are we wasting time and money on all this indoctrination of our kids with critical race theory? today biden could have sent a positive signal to the market that he is soon ending unemployment benefits and is urging the full reopening of the u.s. economy. imagine if he had said that today, he could also say he's resuming the keystone pipeline and allowing for new oil and gas leases on federal land. of course he didn't. but let's be very clear, this is a classic self-created crisis of biden. remember, covid was fixed in january, the economic crisis was fixed. all they needed to do was keep the car on the road and instead, biden drove it right into a ditch. we have gas shortages, the rampant -- across the u.s. right up into d.c. and maryland and the p

biden, president biden is doing a good job, the best he can.rying to pull america back together. i don't understand why both parties don't understand, united we stand, divided we fall, we are fighting against the same interest in many ways. i think it is sad, and it is weakening our country. host: mr. waldman? guest: yeah, it's in a way the people in washington really are trapped. i do want to say there is some misconception out there. you always see people who run for office saying, well, if you send me to washington, i'll advocate for common sense solutions and we will get down and roll up our sleeves and find the solutions to problems. the problem with that is the parties as they are now have profoundly different agendas. it is not just a matter of taking a bipartisan solution off of the shelf for a lot of issues. republicans want to restrict abortion rights, democrats want to expand. you can go down a list and there are very different ideas about what we should do. it is often not possible to get a compromise. and the parties are so sorted

joe biden screamed masks or vaccine into the camera.en an awful week for the biden presidency. this weeks caps disastrous democratic party rule. it's not going well. inflation through the roof. unemployment on the rise. gas shortages in everya das own states. -- in over a dozen states and turmoil in the middle east. joe is clueless on what to do. in the months and years coming while the republican party has what is a new opportunity to change this trajectory for future generations. it's important. right now in the minority, the gop must fight tooth and nail. the first job is to stop the democrats huge massive, unprecedented power grab. court packing can't happen. ending the legislative filibuster must never happen. statehood puerto rico can't happen and hr1 has to be stopped. the unconstitutional legislation would give democrats control of all elections and outlaw any kind of voter i.d. at all. they don't want any. if any of these measures pass, there will be no more republican party. do you understand? no more opposition at least as fa

what is your boss biden going to do about the gas prices going higher? biden has no plans.u need to plan on paying an extra $20 when you fill up. it's probably going to $3.50 a gallon. ing russian gangsters inside russia hacked the pipeline with russian computers. nothing in russia happens without the approval of putin and the kremlin. but biden says russia isn't involved. >> so far there is no evidence based from our intelligence people that russia is involved. although there is evidence that the ransome ware is in russia. jesse: are you saying putin has nothing to do with russians hack our pipe line. >> i'm confident i read the report accurately. they say he was not, the government was not. jesse: let me see if i have this correct. the fbi just cleared putin? russian organized crime from inside russia knocked our pipeline out and in less than a week the fbi determined the kremlin was clean. the same fbi that accuses everyone of being a russian agent? and in a week closed the books on the pipeline act? something is not adding up here. the russians hacked hillary's campaign

you have to say it's not biden. that person creates this radical biden administration agenda. but this mcconnell/fox play according to the evidence, not mind you but what we're seeing from you, the american public, is that it's not working anymore. biden's job approval at a 60% high, higher than trump ever got. voters don't think he's radical. around 100 days, biden was considered as moderate. that's interesting because of course biden has been pushing $6 trillion in new big government spending. and his rating isn't just higher than obama's. it's higher than any recent incoming first president. what's going on here? political strategist chai says there is five factors. race is of course one, how people view something coming from biden versus obama. but there are others including the vaccine rollout. it is not going to be over seen by a senile old puppet. he points to biden's senate relationship, years of the public seeing him as a moderate, his avoidance of culture war traps. he doesn't get into the right wing debates over mr. potato head. biden does look open minded. he's bee

here's another clip from president biden's speech to congress on wednesday night. >> president biden:cracy phila works and we can deliver for our people. >> chris: kristen, i have to say, it sounds a bit like a poll tested line, but can president president biden use this argument, that this is a way of advancing the u.s. position in the world, this is a battle between democracy and autocracy and we have to show that democracy can deliver? >> i think -- again, as you noted, a very nice pole-tested line but it's also very 35,000 feet and again, i think in the midst of we are coming out of the pandemic, we are still healing the economic damage of the last year, people's thoughts are not necessarily for 35,000-foot level, they are at the level their own homes and we talked earlier about, you know, the potential risk of inflation. inflation is is not something i've seen pop up a as a concernn polls during my entire career. it really hasn't been top of the polls during my entire lifetime and yet we are beginning to see folks say i'm worried about things like cost of living going up and so i

joe biden and morris johnson or they joe biden said well look at china's one belt one road we need our own one belt one road and it's kind of waking up late in the game but maybe they'll move in this direction and you don't see that china's approach to the so-called developing world is a lot better that it brings benefit i mean you know china you know has some exploitive practices like in africa you know they have interests the mineral wealth. the same time they have you know helped to uplift various countries and economies and they won a lot of support in africa and around the world and i think you know by then johnson realized that maybe now those sorts of sorts move in that direction instead of the u.s. invading and bombing so many countries and building more you know drone bases yeah absolutely rick secretary blinken is able to use the kind of language that we're hearing him say against china because he has the support of the u.s. mainstream media i mean everywhere you look china is being accused of genocide of the weavers with no physical evidence and as they say no body no crime

bidened had ordered i.c.e.. your final word, you've got ten seconds. >> i think, again, americans want to see the laws enforced on the books. it is very demoralizing for our i.c.e. agents if they can't actually follow the law and do the their job, so i'm asking president biden, do your job. length length congresswoman, thanks for joining us. it's good to see you. >> good to see you. elizabeth: i'm elizabeth macdonald, you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. have a good evening, join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ larry: hello, everyone. welcome back to "kudlow." i'm larry kudlow. this evening i want to continue our discussion about the extraordinary importance of senator tim scott's rebuttal to president biden's state of the union message a week ago. last night on the show we had a great discussion with katie pavlich and guy benson about the significance of mr. scott's remarks. i mean, when can anyone remember a rebuttal speech that was more important, more significant, more insightful

remember just two years ago on the campaign trail, joe biden completely dismissed the china threat.ch this. >> china is going to eat our lunch. come on, man. they can't even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the china sea in the mountains in the east and the west and can figure out how they're going to do with the corruption that exists within the system. they're not a competition to this. >> jason: what is the biden administration doing the whole china accountable for the global pandemic they caused. they hacked america's largest pipeline and instead of punishing them, rewarded russia by lifting sanctions on russia's pipeline into germany. >> i'm helping people understand this. >> to sanction some of people to stop this project at 95% and are not doing this. >> stopping a project in another country that has had 95%. >> made it more difficult with the sanctions. >> jason: here is something that she failed to mention. according to a new report, lobbyisthe foreign partners of russia's actually donated to the biden campaign and a campaign s

jill biden, first lady, met immediately with teachers unions after joe biden took the presidency.t to talk about the teachers unions. carol mark owe which is wrote an op-ed that cdc cruel guidance trapses our kids into a forever pandemic. there is no data to support the masking norm beginning at age two. the guidance, written by someone never attended summer camp, that kids separated three feet at all times, six feet when they're eating. what do you think of the administration, constant basically flip-flopping on this? >> it shows the power of the teachers unions behind the scenes. joe biden's administration i think they know that parents are desperate to get their kids back into school. they are frustrated with this now over a year of school closures in some districts. they don't have the leverage to go elsewhere. most states don't have broad-based school choice programs. so they know the popular thing to say that schools are going to be reopened but then they go right back into the negotiation with the teachers unions which studies have shown that the strongest correlating facto

joe biden and vladimir putin?in's bullying, etc. i think later in the year or next year would have been far better, and certainly have one with president xi at some point. but nonetheless, it's going to take place -- maria: yep. >> i think people have low expect takes about the outcome -- expectations about the outcome. having a summit for the sake of having a summit more than anything else. but it is an opportunity to go face to face with putin and put our concerns on the table. listen, maria, the backdrop here for putin, he has enormous confidence about his ability to read people, and he has huge spew wigs. he has taken advantage all of our presidents, democrat and republican, i think, right up until the present x. that's just the reality. putin's masterful at doing this, a former kgb agent himself. he's very intuitive and very instinctive when he's dealing with somebody. so he knows biden -- maria: he walks into this meeting a victor already because joe biden waived the sanctions on the company operating the no
